I too am a member of the Fibro Club. I was diagnosed in 97, back then it took an orthopedic doctor with a sub-specialty in diseases of the joints and muscles. I had the pain from a very young age but no one had even begun to recognize Fibro back then. My mother has it, undiagnosed. Unfortunately...

Thank you all for your prayers! I have always known the power of prayer, and it is proven yet again. This afternoon, my daughter came in after a marathon session of schoolwork and announced that she is caught up in 4 of her classes and only 1 assignment short in another. She seems to have woken...

Please grant me the blessings of your prayers. I have advanced fibromyalgia and arthritis throughout my spine, plus I've been through a 3-level fusion in my neck. I feel selfish asking for relief for my pain when there are so many others more deserving, others in far worse situations than I am...

Thank you dear! ((((hugs)))) I'll continue to keep y'all updated as things progress, but I'm praying that the current trend continues. Bless all of you!

She is and her father and I are so very proud of how seriously she is taking it! She's getting up early again (she slacked off while she was on the school home-bound program. She is actually enthusiastic about learning! The only thing that makes me a little nervous is that for her chemistry...

One of the wonderful things about this particular school (and on of the reasons I chose it) is that they have a certain number of field trips. There is actual as opposed to strictly online association between students. They have both educational and social gatherings within a certain age group...

I think you will all share my joy to know that she is now enrolled in an online school that offers much greater educational opportunities than her regulation public school could dream of having! She is completely free from the environment that not only let this dreadful bullying to take place...

I want to thank you all for your prayers! They were certainly heard because she is doing better. Discharged from hospital, she is only seeing the psychologist she's been seeing for a few years now. She sees her every two weeks and things are better according to the doctor. As soon as I noticed...

I can't stay online long, my fibro is acting up and I don't have the strength to stay long enough to watch the vid or read the thread (which I really want to do!) I'm just making a quick statement, partially just to subscribe to the thread, lol. I'm planning to return soon to give this thread...

Thank you for reminding me, I should have mentioned the tender points. It is important to eliminate things like RA and Lupus through testing, but the tender point test is more significant than most people realize. With some of those points, other people don't register anything unusual. I tested...

You can have both an inflammatory condition and fibromyalgia, and to further complicate matters, fibro also causes inflammation. The root cause of the pain associated with fibro is misfiring nerves. These send pain signals to the brain that tell you that you feel pain, even though there isn't a...

Thank you both. We need all the prayers we can get right now.

Sometimes, just going one step at a time is all we can ask for. The steps add up and before we know it, we've done what we had to. And I've noticed that the pain always seems to get worse at just the wrong time, when I have something important to do like go to my daughter's school or run...

I've always loved the stories about the Howard Families. I especially love Mama Maureen. :)

Please pray for my daughter. She is currently an outpatient in a mental hospital. She was emotionally and mentally bullied in school. The school dismissed the problem, saying there was nothing they could do. I believe what it came down to they didn't even want to bother. They made a total...

Okay, I'm confused. Are you saying that if a person is ignorant of Christianity for their whole lives, they are subject to "eternal punishment" and are lost? You say "no one is given a pass into heaven because of ignorance." Can you elaborate on that statement? Does it really mean what it sounds...

The 3rd book in The Saga of the Pliocene Exile, The Nonborn King. It's an old series (from the 80s) but a very good read if you like science fiction/fantasy combos.

I am so sorry to hear about the horrible things you have dealt with! :groupray: I'm sorry to break it to you, I know how much easier it is to bear the pain when you have something to be able to point to and say, "this is the cause of my pain" but fibromyalgia seems to be a genetic...

Well, officially it's Fibromyalgic Syndrome, it covers a variety of symptoms. Not everyone suffers from all of them. I don't believe it's a "blanket dx," it's a valid neurological condition. It's even recognized by Social Security as a disease qualifying for disability. Once problems with...

I was referring to the infamous Andrew Jackson "Libby" Long, the lightning calculator and mathematical genius. He died and was placed in a capsule orbiting a sun by Lazarus Long. He was later picked up and taken to Tertius and rejuvenated. It turned out that he had a genetically anomaly, namely...
